Fast spotting there Wolf! Just checked the website yesterday and this wasn't online then - and I haven't even seen this reported on any local websites yet either.

That looked very cool. I kinda wish the whole thing was a period piece though. I'm wondering what it looks like in "modern Finland".

Hype, high expectations, and overenthusiasm are all dirty words when it comes to movies, and other entertainemt mediums in general. After 24 year on this planet, I have learned how NOT to get caught up in any of those emotions. But as of right now, I can't help but get super excited about this film. Im hyped up! Period.
